Forcing AuthenticationID/Password of an extension to different lenght

[GoranC]

Hello,

So basically our requirement is to set AuthID and AuthPass to 16 characters for all our clients. I can do that manually, but I will still have problems in the future if someone clicks on "Regenerate" button which will create new ID/Pass with 10 characters length for that extension.
I understand that 10 character length is safe enough, but at the same time we have our policy which says that we should use 16 characters, and I don't see a reason why we shouldn't be able to do this automatically without having to change it manually on every extension.

Regards
Goran

10 chars is already extremely secured if random chars, like 3CX does. Why 16? And for users, okay. For a system like that? Password policies should not be applied that high. Keep in mind that some phones might even refuse a SIP auth/password that is too long.
